Guest DualLegacy Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I Have a 1990 Subaru Lecacy LS with AWD, that is haveing an auto transmission problem. The transmisson works in D1, D2 and Reverse with no problems. The transmission will not do anything in D3 or D(Drive). My question is has any had this problem and is fixable? or should i just get a new Transmission? I pulled down the Trans. cover and the fluid was dark with metal flacks...

Guest Legacy777 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 how big were the metal flakes? Most likely the trans is toast. You'll either need to have it rebuilt or get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GlCraigGT Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Was the remote transmission filter ever installed? If not you've probability chewed up the planetary set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DualLegacy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 The metal flakes were mainly small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DualLegacy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Yes, the remote transmission filter was installed. When I do not know. The car has 131,000 miles on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TinyClark Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 If the tranny fluid isn't a nice red color, then it's burned, probably along with the clutch packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
